That tho baby crop has fallen far short of what It ought to bo In tho matter of quality nnd quantity, and that some thing must be done to bring about an Improvement in the annual yield linn been decided upon by the West Side Young Men's Christian associa tion, and to that end a scries of lectures will be given soon, to be known as a courso In etigonlcs. Ten learned professors will discuss this subject on ns ninny different eve nings In the building in West Fifty seventh street. Tho whole series will be under the direction of Dr. Woods Hutchison, the man of medicine who tells so many things about tho hu man system and tells them as though ho were writing a novel. All these professors with Dr. Hut chinson leading tho grand mnrch, arc going to step right up to the situa tion nnd look It squarely In the countenance. They are going to dis cuss how the baby crop Is affected In quality and quantity by marriages re sulting from n desire for money on one flldo or tho other of the compact. They will talk about unions which nre the outgrowth of revcronco for beauty, for soclnl position nnd for tho plain, pure, unadulterated, stone blind lovo which mnkes it impoBslblo for tho woman to sco the wart on the nose of her ftnncee and whose total capital of $1-1.72 looks as If It had thrco ciphers added to It when he calls her his peerless pippin. They will ndvance cortnln estab lished principles In favor of some marriages, favoring, for instance, the wedding of a gentleman with a lum ber limb but hnvlng plonty of honlthy corpusclcs to the union of n woman with n man who linn nil limbs intact but with both lungs tilled with soot from clgnrettos. It will be advocated that such young men be required to furnish n clean bill of health from n chimney sweeper before getting a marrlago license. Dr. 0. Stanley Hall, president of Clark university, will dollvor the opening lecturo on Nov. C. His sub ject will bo "Breeding Men." A bet ter liumnn strain and how to obtain It will bo tho Keynote of tho courso In eugenics.

BLAINE STIRS TEACHERS i Points to Peril of Nation In the Decline of Ideals That Should Be Preached, Practiced and Pro moted by the Instructors In Our Public Schools. 0 norwegians have .methods. MODERN NEW YORK', Nov. S Ono of tho most remurknblo features of present day shipping and ono which Is not very generally recognized Is tho en terprise of Norwegians In southern ocean whaling. The first trial, which met with Immedlnto success, wns mndo In 1903 by a Snndefjord firm on tho ndvlco of Captain Carl A. Larson, who was In com run ml of the Antarctic, at the time of Otto Nor denskJold'H south polnr expedition nnd who reported that tho sea liter ally swarmed with whales. From 1904 to the end of Inst Juno no fower than DO companies, repre senting nn aggregate capital of near ly two millions sterling, have been formed to prosecute tho Industry, nnd according to tho latest nvallablo information most of thorn havo pnld largo dividends ranging between 30 nnd 100 por cent, says tho Pall Mall Gazette. A good deal of Norwegian success Is admittedly duo to tho foct thnt they have bought up n largo number or second hand llrltlsh stenmers and adapted thorn for tho purpose. And In this connection it Is of Interest to noto thnt two of tho latest purchnscs havo been the Dundee stenmer Loch Tny, acquired for 20,000 pounds nnd tho well-known nrocklobnnk liner Cnrnnrvonshlro. for which 1-1,000 pounds was paid. Another contrib utory cnuso Is that old mothods hnvo been dlscnrded nnd tho tnsk of locat ing nnd rapturing whales In tho vi cinity of Korguolcn lslnnd, tho South Shotlnnds, Southeast Africa and tho west const of South America Is al lotted to specially fitted vessels, somo for wlinlo catching nnd others for storing nnd carrying the oil to Euro pean ports. Stimulated to emulation, a firm on tho Tyuo Is to dispatch an expedition consisting of threo whalers, a fac tory ship and nn oil cnrrlor at tho end of this month for operation near Korguolcn Island and tho South Shotlnnds.

The kind YOU have ALWAYS USED. PHONE 73 Pacific Llvory & Transfer Co. NE OF the strongest and most significant of tho many ad dresses dollvored beforo tho National Educntlonnl Association in San Francisco wns that of Mrs. Em mons Dlnine. Mrs. Dlnlno struck boldly nt pre sent educational evils, including tho "bread and butter" attltudo with which, she declared, too many teach ers viewed their profession. Sho al bo urged the community to give to tho great army of teachers compen sation commensurnto with tho valuo of their services In training tho fu ture citizenship of tho country. Points to Political Abuse Not only did Mrs. Dlalno plead for the Inception of higher Ideals In ed ucation, but to their decline Bhe at tributed much of the growing nbuso of political power and the falling off from the accepted ideals oi political liberty and cqunllty. "The opportunity of tho tencher Is tho greatest opportunity In the world, or over," continued tho Bpeak or. "In the United States todny t might bo called tho opportunity to savo the country. Our nation was not begun ns other nations. "Wo stand among all the nations nB tho grcnt experiment, of n wholly representative government. The na tions of tho earth turn to us nnd wo havo their questions to answer: Is our representative government a homo of religious feeling? Is our reprcsontatlvo government nn nvonuo for tho true freedom or n comnium ty's government of Itself? Is our demand for the prlvllcgo of having Its fruition in our being a nation or principle? Triumph of Commercial Greed "Wo must rnoro freely nnd surely sny, If wo sco at nil, that our prln clplo of self government docs not al ways work. It does not always havo much relation to tho will of tho com munity. Furthermore, tho commun ity halt the tlnio Is more concerned thnt tho government docs not Inter fere with Its projects to get ahead of Its neighbor or to gain tho nlmlgnty dollar than to know that freedom is preserved, thnt truo representation Is mnlntnlncd nnd that honor and Jus tice aro upheld. "We sco pictures on ovary hand of tho subordinating of our institu tions to commercial gain. Wo see tho supplanting of tho dcslro for frco reprcsentntlvo goocrnmont by tno ie slro for tho frco, undisturbed chanco for tho getting of money, bo tho gov ernment freo or fettered, reprcsentn tlvo or boss ridden, owned as a sac red right or bartered. "Havo wo, In tho phraso of our beloved vernacular, 'mndo good' to our forefathers, to tho world, to our solves? Wo cannot sny yes. Wo may not with truth to tho best that Is In us, say a final no. Wo must say, not yet. "Does all this seem to bo a far cry from the opportunity of tho tencher? It Is not it Is tho heart of the whole subject. Future Cltbruslilp nt Stake "Tho citizens of tomorrow aro all In your hnnds. You hnvo your wholo body politic of tho future America In your hnnds. You hnvo It beforo solf Ish commercialism has more thnn reached Us enrs beforo tho grip of mntorlnllsm has It by tho throat. "What possession havo wo othor than our children that wo treat so carelessly? You havo them. They aro yours to redeem, nnd they nro tho only hopo for tho redeeming of our nation. Id-n That Starts Revolutions "The Idcn of a dlvlno work dealt with as n money valuo Is tho Idea, thank God, thnt starts revolutions. When American schools regard the chnnco to perform this high sorvlce ns a commercial Job there will bo a revolution. "Rut they will not, Ihey cannot. I would like to havo teachers wrlto Into their contracts a clnuso to tho effect that when nnyono can bo found to do tho work better thnt ono should bo placed In charge "Thoro aro two sides to the money question In teaching. Ono cannot servo God nnd mammon. If tho up lifting of tho child Is tho aim of tho teacher, money cannot bo. Thore- foro, monoy must not bo ennnot bo tho nltn of teaching. "On tho othor hand, tho commun ity will come, not to concede, but to demnnd money pnymont for tho work of teaching commensurato with tho payment of tho highest experts In nny Held. It needs but tho conception of tho community of what It must havo for Its children, of what It must give to Its children, nnd to thoso who nro making their lives. To reach this conception, It Is you who nuiBt help to show tho truth. That truth can never como out of tho spirit of ex- action. it must come out of the spirit of dovotlon. km! CitUrnshlp Firxt Aim "It hardly ever is asked of tho schools whether they aro proparlng clearer, keener, nnd moro efficient votors nnd workers for tho state. This Is the first business of tho schools of tho country nnd It receives hut llttlo attention from tho public who cons titute themsolves tho schools' critics. "Wo say wo havo not yet 'mndo good' as Amorlcans. The mind's oyo runs ovor tho high points of our na tional shortcomings. We find threo great avenues of weakness. First is tho inadequacy of our government. Tho best peoplo aro not sought to fl)l our offices. Tho current ' mothods nro bungling In many directions. "Tho right compensation for ser vice to tho community Is little thought of. Tho subjects needing government caro nro many of them inoglectod. The govornment machin ery Is left to bo used by any who will. Under these conditions our leading citizens aro pursuing their wny with few thoughts given to their duties ns citizens nnd thoso few weak enough to be stifled In hopelessness. Tho lack of responsibility of our most responsible peoplo on this subject is an amazing fact today. Appalled by Thoughtlessness. "Next, wo nro appalled by tho ut ter thoughtlessness and carelessness townrd others by so many of our mon ey makersln tholr mad rush for wealth. This means n .deop lnck of any true seiiBO of tho meaning of citizenship It bodes ill for tho hnrmonlous and real Bolutlon of tho question appear ing with such vnBt moment In our country between so-called capital and so-called labor. It bodes ill for that real democrncy which In its greater, deeper unity of man working for mnn, makes null nnd void any such paltry division of people. "And ngnln, wo nre confronted by tho general lnck of discipline nnd regard for law. Out of this there stand two monsters thnt glare through It all so fiercely that wo arc driven to call them tho leading spir its in our weakness materialism and selfish ambition. "It is probable tho unwonted suc cess of Amcrlcnn Industry, of Ameri can enterprises, has gone to tho Am crlcnn head nnd that in the condi tions confronting ndults como tho causes of tho shortcomings. Home nnd School Must Co-ojcrntc. "Homo nnd school must Join hnnds In tho search for tho responsibility of nu unsatisfactory national atti tude. "There is lack of responsibility In the government nnd for the govern ment, la our school system likely to fortify Kb growing citizens against this deadly ovll which must bo strik ing nt tho root of our nationnl life? "Responsibility Is tho first qunllty tho right school llfo must dovclop. Yet I cannot see, ns I think over schools In general with their red tape methods of discipline, thnt responsi bility hns much chance for considera tion or for growth. "Thcro Is thoughtlessness and carelessness for others In nil tho re lations of life. How can wo even talk of supposing thnt we nro arous ing by our cducntlon' n civic senso of caring for tho wholo when tho fun damental basis of the plan for school achievement Is for each pupil to get out all ho can for himself regardless of, or oven cssontlally ngalnst, nil comers. This Is Ingrained In the wholo system. " VIEWS Somo ono should sing n song nbout' tho demands of society. Tho first verso could tell about how much It costs nnd tho second nbout how much It Is worth. Hero Is n man In Butte whoso social demands were so high thnt ho nnd to embczzlo $0,000 and will now spend two years In tho penitentiary. Of courso, every ono needs socloty of somo sort, but tho so-called demands of It nre UBtinlly self-imposed.

Present Holdings In New York of Tluve, Totals About 9150,000,000 NEW YORK, Nov. 8. For tho first time In history figures have Just been mndo public hero covering tho valuo and extent of tho real cstato holdings In this city of the country's greatest family of land-owners the Astors, tho Astors, descendants of the ori ginal John Jacob Astor, who nrrlved in this country from Germany In 1784 without n cent nnd Immediately began tho accumulation of the enor mous present day property. While many guesses hnvo been mado con cerning Its size, there has never bo fore been any authentic compilation. Tho now figures show thnt tho present land holdings In this city of the thrco Astors William Waldorf, John Jacob and William total al most 700 soparato parcels nnd nro taxed on n valuntlon of $107,000, 000. As this valuation Is probably no more than CO per cent of the price which tho properties would bring nt public or prlvato sale, tho total value of these enormous hold ings would doubtless reach $1G0, 000,000. ' ' Almost as surprising nB the mag nitude nnd value of the properties Is their wldo distribution. Every section of the city Is represented nnd In nenrly every enso by the choicest properties. Indeed in mnny sections n Btono thrown nt random would al most certainly lnnd on a piece of As tor real estate. The manner In which this great fortune hns been built up Is shown by the fact thnt one of the properties known ns tho old Samlor farm, which was purchased for about $20,000 soon after 1800, Is now worth about $8,000,000. Incldcntnl ly tho Astor holdings Include nbout $30,000,000 worth of hotels, nmong which nro five of the lnrgest In the country. NOTICE.

Plus X has Issued Instructions for tho speedy completion of tho now codo of laws by which tho Catholic church throughout tho world Is to be governed for tho future Forty of tho church's most learned Canonists, besides a commission of cardinals, have been working on this colossal task for tho last eight years. They have already occupied threo years beyond tho tlmo originally nllotted to them, but owing to tho stimulus now given by Plus X who looks upon this ns tho great work of his pontlflcato, tho codo will bo nt lenst ready for production during the courso of the coming year. It Is tho first time in tho history of tho papney that a unl vorsal codification has beon attempt ed. Tho result will be to eliminate an Immense numbor of local or ob solete laws and to establish now leg Islntlon applicnblo everywhere and suited to modern times. One of the Important features of tho new codi fication, which concerns the United Stntes as woll as other countries, Is tho abolition of somo of the Impedi ments which nt present make mar rlago Invalid between Catholics. Thus, according to tho new law, mar rlago between third cousins will be allowed, and no obstacle to marriage will bo created by sponsorship at baptism. Tho American bishops will also bo granted extended powers of Jurisdiction in matters which they aro at present obliged to refer to Home. DRESSMAKING GOWNS, SUITS AND REMODELLING. MRS. .
